Egypt doesn't understand the Olympic Games, or sportsmanship

Politics and islam here we go again. I suppose there will be no version of a Christmas Truce with these guys. I expect those days are gone.

This is an example of simple bad behavior, intolerance and poor sportsmanship. If the guy wouldn't bow (traditional) or shake the other's hand (modern option), then he should have simply forfeit. Why didn't he? Because if he had won, he would've gloated.

Time for Israel to take back the Gaza Strip.

    A little research says Babylonia and Mayans independently developed the concept of zero. Perhaps India as well, but some conjecture that they took it from Babylon. Arguably Babylon is a precursor to the people who became muslms, but no muslims back then, so for these guys genes 1, religion 0.

    I guess my Stand and Deliver reference wasn't so wrong. The point there was the Mayans, not the Spanish. Makes more sense.

    Dracula origins assigned to the moors? Don't know anything about that. Barbary Pirates, for sure!

    I think the BLM and this effect goes much further than just the blacks that have fallen for it. Plenty of other colors swept up in the nonsense of shooting a felon.

    "...being insane about it?" I get what you are saying, but which sounds more insane, genocide or wondering?

    An argument could be made that "wondering" in the face of an immediate attack is insane. However, I wonder if genocide in necessary. Cutting off all their money might accomplish pretty much the same thing.

    Sorry, an old joke intended to be a bizarre statement. Perhaps "huh?" is the intended reaction. I'll have to come up with another idea. Do you have a problem with motors, power converters, marine propulsion or acoustics?

    Before Tamerlane southern Asia was a mix of many religions and ethnicities. He went on a rampage, killing millions in the name of Allah. There used to be a thriving multi-religious environment before him.

    AND, they're taking the humanitarian aid coming for them and using it for building tunnels and buying weapons. They don't want peace, so talking about it is a waste of time. If anyone wants to discuss it, where was Israel when Spain was invaded? How about when the Turks were pounding on the doors of Vienna? Where do you think the Dracula story originated? How about the Barbary Pirates? Where was Israel then? It's just a convenient excuse for behavior that's been around for over 1400 years, almost all of which had no Israel. Just notice the behavior that had to be used to stop their incursions. Eventually, someone in today's world will come to the same conclusion.

    Why did it take you this long to figure that out?!? This Israel Arab thing is NOT going to end well, so stop being insane about it. The only solution to this is genocidal. The Arabs won't come to any other terms.

    Go to Volume II of Ledbetters Forgotten History of America for a much clearer and more accurate picture of that and other segments of history Much of what you thought you remembered and forgot often had little bearing to accurate history. especially after the twisting given it in the last hundred years.

    The memory you refer to lasted as long as it suited those who have never learned any lesson of civilized behavior be they
    Muslim or US Polticos

    This is one time along with the other TV killing programs like MTV and politics I don't mind not owning one for 20 plus years. It definitely began with the poorly done Atlanta Olympics but Salt Lake City was the first time I noticed out and out open cheating by the officials and to this day that sorry state of affairs based on politics no doubt has spread to every facet and phase of life until it's just ho hum business as usual. I suggest we change the name to the Hillary Games in honor of those who support a way of life with no understanding of Rule Three.

    Could have picked a better time for the wifi service to fritz ....they expect to have it fixed AFTER the games unfortunately not AFTER the elections.

    The real losers in all this are the young people who bust their butts to get to that level only to have it cheapened by the Oympic Committe version of the Pentagon, White House and Congress.

    These are not millenials xy=zeros for the most just representatives of those who are making it through despite the worst efforts of their age related contemporaries.

    Like good professional soldiers who shun the careerist path I hope the true Olympians do not one day view it not worth the time, trouble and effort. and realize they were and will be the example the rest of their contemporaries should be striving to match.

    +1 for being so non-PC!

    Arguably the difference between hard work and self-reliance (with some US support) versus envy, sloth and treachery. The Israelis turned a desert into a productive oasis. The lazy watching just develop envy and hatred. It can't be their fault they have nothing.
